Spitfire Mk IX Color Question


Recommended Posts

Hi all! 

 

I am building a Spitfire Mk IX for a friend and I'm not sure what colors to use (I am a Luftwaffe expert to the exclusion of basically everything else). 

 

What are the names of the colors used for the upper surfaces, underside, propeller, etc? These questions pertain to the colors depicted on the original box art of the Tamiya 1/32 Spitfire Mk IX. 

 

Thanks in advance!

The Spitfire pictured on the box of the Tamiya kit is in the standard Day Fighter Scheme.

Upper surfaces are Ocean Grey and Dark Green and the undersides are Medium Sea Grey.

The spinner and tail fuselage band (18") are Sky.

Serial is in black (night) and code letters are Sky.

Prop blades are black with 4" yellow tips.

And the wing leading edges are yellow, the bands were 4" wide.

 

Cheers

 

Dennis

Hi all, thank you for your replies: 

 

I have a related question. 

I want to mask the insignia and paint myself using AK real colors. Which colors from them are accurate for the roundels? I do not have their book and it is not obvious from their inventory. 

 

curious about which bottle of blue red and yellow to get. 

 

Many thanks!
